Los Angeles Chargers news, rumors and injuriesChargers | LAC kickers split time this offseason Sun, 25 Jun 2017 13:58:53 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers PKs Josh Lambo and Younghoe Koo split repetitions during offseason workouts and will compete for the kicker job during training camp. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Jason Verrett may be ready for camp Wed, 21 Jun 2017 15:34:14 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers CB Jason Verrett (knee) hopefully will be ready for the start of training camp. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Travis Benjamin as fast as ever Sun, 18 Jun 2017 18:21:45 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers WR Travis Benjamin's vertical speed is a "game changer" for the offense, according to head coach Anthony Lynn, and Lynn said he wants Benjamin to return punts this season. Fantasy Tip: Benjamin has the speed to take the top off the defense, but the Chargers' crowded receiving corps will make consistency tough to come by. His value will be tied to big plays, making him more appealing as a DFS flier than a standard league option. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Nick Dzubnar healthy Sun, 18 Jun 2017 13:15:36 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers LB Nick Dzubnar (knee) said he is completely recovered from the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered last season. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Mike Williams could be back for camp Fri, 16 Jun 2017 18:44:16 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (back) said he has been logging mental reps while recovering from a back injury, and head coach Anthony Lynn said the hope is that Williams can return for the start of training camp. Fantasy Tip: The back injury could make for a steeper learning curve for Williams, but he has the physical tools you look for in a No. 1 receiver. He is worth a look as a WR4 in redraft leagues, and he is a first-round prospect in rookie drafts. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Philip Rivers not close to retiring Wed, 14 Jun 2017 17:11:13 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers QB Philip Rivers said he believes he can play a few more seasons before he considers retirement. Fantasy Tip: Rivers has thrown for at least 4,000 yards in eight of his last nine seasons and at least 30 touchdowns in three of the last four season. He did struggle with 21 interceptions in 2016 but should reduce that number this season. Rivers have a solid group of pass catchers to work with on offense and can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Melvin Ingram signs four-year deal Sun, 11 Jun 2017 14:38:52 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers LB Melvin Ingram signed a new four-year contract Sunday, June 11, worth $66 million, according to a source. The deal includes $42 million in guaranteed money. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Melvin Ingram still in contract talks Sun, 11 Jun 2017 11:28:50 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers DE Melvin Ingram is still in contract talks with the team, as he is one of two franchise-tag players yet to sign their tender. ESPN reporter Eric Williams believes Ingram will play under the tag rather than sign a new deal. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Chris McCain limps off Wed, 07 Jun 2017 15:43:56 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers LB Chris McCain (undisclosed) limped off the field Tuesday, June 6, after suffering an undisclosed injury during practice. McCain has been working with the first-team defense during offseason workouts since franchise free-agent LB Melvin Ingram has stayed away from the workouts. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Mike Williams done for the spring Tue, 06 Jun 2017 10:22:21 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams (back) will be held out for the final two weeks of the offseason program as he continues to deal with a mild disc herniation in his lower back. Fantasy Tip: Williams has been out since suffering the injury during the first practice of rookie minicamp, and there reportedly is no guarantee he'll be ready for the start of training camp either. While early June still gives him almost two months to heal, he is already a raw talent - as in he has a limited route tree - who could have used as much time as possible developing his game and trying to work his way up a crowded receiving corps. This development makes the rookie a risky WR4 consideration at best in early drafts. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Travis Benjamin saw numbers drop in '16 Mon, 05 Jun 2017 21:48:17 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers WR Travis Benjamin saw his numbers drop across the board in 2016 in his first year with the club. In his final season in Cleveland in 2015, Benjamin registered 68 catches on 125 targets for 966 yards and five touchdowns, while playing in all 16 games. Last year, though, Benjamin managed to suit up in 14 games, en route to notching 47 receptions on 75 targets for 677 yards and four touchdowns. Fantasy Tip: Even when No. 1 wide-out Keenan Allen went down in the beginning of the campaign, Benjamin still couldn't consistently post the big statistics that some owners were expecting, as injuries also contributed to his sometimes erratic play. With Allen set to return, not to mention the presence of emerging receiver Tyrell Williams and first-round draft pick Mike Williams, it doesn't seem likely Benjamin can be relied upon regularly in fantasy this season. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Inexperienced Bolts WRs seeing time Mon, 05 Jun 2017 06:56:56 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers WRs Geremy Davis and Jamaal Jones have benefited by receiving a lot of reps with QB Philip Rivers and the first-team offense in organized team activities due to injuries atop the depth chart. Comment () | Share: Fri, 02 Jun 2017 11:48:10 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers CB Michael Lee was waived Friday, June 2. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Dan Feeney gets his deal done Fri, 02 Jun 2017 11:42:11 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers third-round OG Dan Feeney signed his four-year rookie contract on Friday, June 2. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Comment () | Share: Chargers | Melvin Ingram could sit out Wed, 31 May 2017 13:33:15 -0700 Los Angeles Chargers LB Melvin Ingram could skip the remaining organized team activities and the upcoming minicamp because he still has not signed his franchise tender, according to sources. Ingram could also skip the start of training camp if he does not receive a long-term deal. Comment () | Share:  |
